Events are taking place across Sefton this week to help young people in the borough find new jobs as part of National Apprenticeship Week.

‘Apprenticeships: Get in. Go Far’ is being organised by Sefton@Work and aims to give 16-24 year-old, unemployed Sefton residents the opportunity to find out first hand from local employers about jobs they can apply for and what skills are needed.

Working in partnership with Wayfarers Arcade, Southport, Sefton@Work are holding the events as part of National Apprenticeship Week which runs from March 9-13.

Tomorrow (March 11) from 10am-5pm Sefton@Work will be at Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street, with major local employers including Merseytravel, Marks and Spencer, Barclays, the Ramada Group, Santander, the Army and Cargills in attendance at the event.

Different sessions will be held throughout the day with specific time slots allocated to unemployed young people aged between 16-24.

If anyone is interested in attending, contact a Work Coach at Jobcentre Plus who will be able to give you more information and arrange an appointment.

During the session young people will have the opportunity to hear from an employer about how they can apply for jobs and apprenticeships in their sector, ask any questions as well as access to training and other employment opportunities.

Sefton@Work is part of Sefton Council’s economic development team and helps local residents get into employment and training.
